Richard Madeley has insisted he is not dying his hair but letting his natural colour shine.

The 63-year-old TV presenter is currently co-hosting Richard & Judy Keep Reading And Carry On on Channel 4 with wife Judy Finnigan sporting golden blond locks, which he insists do not come out of a bottle.

Madeley told the Mirror: “It is completely natural, nothing to do with a bottle. You don’t have to believe me, but it’s true. If I was dyeing my hair I’m sure it would go green, I wouldn’t know how to do it.

“I was born Boris blond. Ten years ago the grey started to come through, and I began to notice in the summer, particularly in strong sunshine, the grey bits were going blond.
